The customer

In Finland, local municipalities are responsible for providing social and health services to citizens. These municipalities are also part of larger federations which handle emergency services and special care. Carea is one such federation and its member municipalities are Hamina, Kotka, Kouvola, Miehikkälä, Pyhtää and Virolahti. It provides social and health services for 174,000 citizens and employs 2,100 professionals.

The challenge

Carea wanted to upgrade its old Windows XP desktops for an improved user experience and a more flexible working environment that would allow users to access patient records securely from any device.

The solution

It deployed Fujitsu Workplace Anywhere, a Citrix based virtual client services solution that makes each of the 1,600 users’ desktops available remotely and introduces the ability to transfer a single session on the move.
